If you don't feel or think you are really going to be able to win the argument and that it is pretty much useless to argue and fight with someone then don't bother. If think and feel they will understand and listen to your side of the story and argument then keep arguing with them.

Other wise, if the argument is all completely all one-sided where the other person such as your partner and that they would not be understanding, then you should just let her do the all talking and you do all the listening.
